Click above to listen to part 1 of Free Range Dinosaurs, featuring Kenneth Lacovara, the Paleontologist who unearthed the largest land dinosaur known: Dreadnoughtus. He is also founding dean of the School of Earth and Environment at Rowan University, director of the Jean and Ric Edelman Fossil Park, and author of “Why Dinosaurs Matter.” In this segment, he discusses dinosaur physiology, and why dinosaurs are more closely related to birds than to reptiles.

It was my understanding that Dinosaurs were “a” solution for the environment at the time – namely a hotter environent, even one with more carbon in the atmosphere. An environment suitable for large plants that can feed big herbivore Dinosaurs, and hence large predatory Dinosaurs.
